Hey Socks,
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it's made no change on the skin. I've been trying it in Frost as well and I've had a similar issue. Both seem to only be going white regardless of the desktop, but DINAJ is working perfectly.
Any other thoughts of what could be causing it?

Hey Socks,
Sorry I didn't reply last time. I've just gotten back from a holiday today so I am finally with internet.
I was wondering if you have had any other thoughts on the issues i have been having with Circuitous at all?
Thanks, and sorry to be a pain!

I took a look through the skin, and it looks like you're gonna need to modify @Resources/Styles/common.inc and add DynamicVariables=1 to any of those styles with colors you want to change. Otherwise it'll only grab the color once when Rainmeter loads the skin (and since Chameleon hasn't had a chance to sample the desktop the skin is sitting on, it just tosses out the defaults). If you right-click and refresh the skin you should notice it updating to the correct color. For what you have so far, I added it to [mainTextCommon] and it started working as expected.

It's annoying that Rainmeter doesn't automatically update these variables, and it gets really easy to lose track of where that DynamicVariables needs to be included, but at the same time it drastically cuts down processing time for styles that don't change which is the more common case for the most part.

Yes, when we looked at this at the time that dynamic variables even became possible (they were not for a very long time) it was decided that on balance, when taken in the aggregate, more resources where used in unneeded checking for the current value of variables and measures on every single update, then could be justified by any annoyance with having to put DynamicVariables=1 where it is needed.

Here is a skin that will show the colors the chameleon finds when you change your wallpaper. You do not need to do anything to get the new colors, the plugin will react to your change of the wallpaper, and generate new values for the measures. This skin shows the color in multiple ways, but you really only need the first 5 measures in your skin for it to work (see below the example skin).

USE IN YOU SKIN
If you have the 5 measures below in your skin (same as in the example), then the chameleon measures: DesktopBG1, DesktopFG1, DesktopBG2, DesktopFG2 will have color values based on the 'Desktop'. Then all you need to do is assign those measures as the colors for your meters; as was done in the example skin above. e.g. FontColor=[DesktopFG1]

This is the direct way to use the plugin. You could also have the measures write the color values to variables in the skin, in another config, or in an external file... then use those variables anywhere.

One other method I have used involves the SysColor.dll plugin to monitor Windows accent color and call a skin with the chameleon measures in it to set new colors (or take some other action).
